"Model:Cycles
Six track FM based groovebox
Scale angles dense and jagged, glide over plains vast and fluid, or sink into mists of dissonance. To model is to shape the formless. Model:Cycles is a six track FM based groovebox that brings exploring into the heart of sound sculpting.

With six unique Machines in one lightweight unit you can effortlessly mold rhythm and melody across the digital spectrum using instant, tactile controls. Exploration made attainable.

Define the formless
The six Machines of the digital FM engine are unique to Model:Cycles, and cover both percussive and melodic synths, allowing you to make full, varied compositions. The four core Synth Controls put the tools of sound sculpting right in front of you, altering the behavior of each Machine differently and letting you push them to the limit. Every sound has a start, where will you take it?
Dedicated × 12
Dedicated knobs let you twist each Machine far and wide with wild, unexpected results waiting to be discovered. Use Control All to heave a parameter to the extreme and back again across every track. Elektron’s powerful sequencer gives you the freedom to record every move live or program the sounds and parameters of your composition one step at a time.
Light weight, heavy sound
Whether you use it as a versatile live instrument or groovebox on the go to pick up and craft full-blown compositions away from your studio, exploration has rarely felt so convenient and unimpeded.

Model:Cycles and Roland SE-02 session at Patchwerks!

"In this video Matthew Piecora (aka EZBOT) jams with the Elektron Model:Cycles and the Roland SE-02. The Model:Cyles is the source for all the percussion, leads, and chords while the SE-02 is the proud supplier of the bassline. The idea behind this video was to a digital drum machine/groovebox with a fully analog synthesizer. The Model:Cycles is unable to hide its digital quality and I would have it no other way, that goes for the SE-02 and it's warm analog sound.

From Roland: "A collaborative effort from Roland and Studio Electronics, the SE-02 is the debut product of the new Roland Boutique Designer Series. The SE-02 uses authentic discrete analog circuitry to create a synthesizer with a distinctly vintage sound and vast programming options. With an array of high-quality knobs and switches and a uniquely creative onboard sequencer, the SE-02 delivers massive tone and texture with expressive hands-on control."

First jam on Elektron Cycles - SYSTEM OF THE TIMES: Model:Cycles & Korg NTS-1 #quarantune Impro

Published on Mar 31, 2020 Gary P Hayes

"Just got the Model:Cycles, so this is after a couple of hours getting under the hood (and there isn't a lot of complexity for sure) - I actually got this as a lightweight pair with my Analog Four mk2, for outdoor sessions, mainly so the drums & perhaps tuned percussion and some chords, can be done on this while the A4 sticks to sequences and bass.

For now a continuous 1st Jam / Impro on #Elektron #Model:Cycles - I used the NTS-1 because I was very keen on the delay and reverb control on the Cycles, just size and feedback and that's about it?

The 0-COAST is a single voice patchable synthesizer. It's name reflects the fact that it utilizes techniques from both the Moog and Buchla paradigms (aka East Coast and West Coast due to their locations), but is loyal to neither and thus implements 0-coast synthesis.

TR606 Zombie Mod

via locoder on electro-music.com

"Hi everyone, I am actually working on a complete new processor for Roland TR606 I have finished most of the code, so I can play and enter drums etc works great, I had a dead TR606 and looked around for like 3 years for a replacement processor.....no luck, so I decided to just code a replacement, I want to add features like shuffle, I have completed the code for that but it does not sound correct? in my code I have a variable that gets incremented every time the sync 24 clock signal has a rising or falling edge, on the first step I add one to this variable to give 7 clock cycles before the next drum trig happens then on the next I minus 1 to give 5 clock cycles before the next drum trig, so essentially I am moving the odd steps forward a little bit, but it does not sound very good on anything above 2 shifted cycles, its weird because my code is sound, but I am guessing that it is something else I have not thought of? I noticed that other people still keep the 6 cycles per step but shift them forward? so effectively you have 7 cycles for the first step and 6 for the next is this correct? I want to add flam, midi as much as I can or have various version? if anyone can help me with the shuffle timing problem or is interested in getting one of these mods done? let me know, I will post a video soon on youtube or something or I can email you one?"

Update via locoder: "I should also mention that I have completed, some small SMD analog voice add ins for the TR606 which include a 909ish bass drum, clap and snare, as you may or may not know there is not much room inside the tiny 606, hence me making the analog voices all surface mount."

Monome Arc4 Encoder smoothness

Published on Dec 1, 2016 Salz-Peter Zucker

"Short test of the encoder smoothness on the new Monome Arc4 - two of four are great on eis not so great. The fourth is somewhere in between - not as smooth as the nice ones but not making grinding noises either..."

No audio, just a demo of the knobs. So cool. It reminds me of the knobs on old classic stereo systems, specifically an old silver Yamaha system my older brother used to own.

Update:

Two more with some audio:

Model:Cycles + iPad Ambient Space Exploration

video upload by Perplex On

"It’s sometimes challenging and fun to use a machine in a way it isn't necessarily common to use. I got myself a model:cycles recently and tried to push it into ambient territory. By using a little helper app on the ipad called #polythemus it’s basically possible to use all six tracks on the cycles at the same time by allocating the voices per channel, so it’s actually possible to play the cycles like a six-voice fm synth. Here i'm actually only using 4 tone tracks, sequenced by #riffer going into #chordjam. Additional fx by routing the incoming audio through #velvetmachine for a smooooooth envelope as well as #rymdigare for a bit of extra space sprinkles."

Synth Jam 87: Elektron Model Cycles

video upload by Marcus Padrini

"Feliz 2022 a todos!

A primeira synth jam do ano traz uma groovebox que eu tenho há mais de um ano e ainda não consegui realmente me dedicar a ela, a Elektron Model Cycles! Trata-se de um instrumento com algumas máquinas de timbres FM, oferecendo bateria, percussão, leads, baixos, pads e etc. Seguindo a tradição da Elektron , a Cycles tem um sequenciador muito poderoso e recursos incríveis para performance em tempo real.

Está nos planos mostrar mais a Cycles por aqui.

Grainy Autumnal Ambient Excursion With Model:Cycles And iPad

video upload by Perplex On

"Went for a walk in the woods, accompanied by the Elektron Model Cycles and an iPad. All tonal sounds coming from the Cycles which is sequenced by #fuguemachine on the ipad. #Polythemus app distributes the midi notes over all 6 tracks on the Cycles in a random manner, resulting in an ever slightly changing tonal quality of the chords. The glitchy blips and blops are coming from #fractalbits, sequenced by #riffer. Additional fx sends with a pinch of #rymdigare, #bleassmotionfx, #bleassfilter, #bleassgranulizer, #scatterbrain, #klevgrandrum and #velvetmachine."

Burst Generator

http://www.cyndustries.com/modules_burstgen.cfm

This in via AH. I decided to copy and paste this one as it's perfect as is and I need to run out for a bit. Enjoy and make sure to check out the sound samples.

"some discussion of burst generators came up on the Serge list (SMOG)....
after some dinking around and advice from others I put together some
voltage-controlled burst generator patches based on the Serge Universal Slope Generator.

What's a Burst Generator?
Basically it's an oscillator that gives you a discrete number cycles when you hit it with a pulse. So for example you can get exactly ten complete cycles of a waveform.

Cynthia sells a packaged Burst Generator here...
http://www.cyndustries.com/modules_burstgen.cfm

By adding voltage control you can vary the number and/or the speed of the cycles that you get out of your burst generator.

http://www.mnmlnoise.com/misc_samples.html

several examples of VC burst generators.

The last one is 2 in series. One emits 2 pulses. The other one is used
for pulses and as an FM source!
This is because both the pulse and OUT of the DTG is used.... so we're
getting a VC number of triangle cycles.
